A chocolate chip cookie is a drop cookie that features chocolate chips or chocolate morsels as its distinguishing
ingredient. Chocolate chip cookies originated in the United States around 1938, when Ruth Graves Wakefield chopped up a
NestlΓ© semi-sweet chocolate bar and added the chopped chocolate to a cookie recipe.
Generally, the recipe starts with a dough composed of flour, butter, both brown and white sugar, semi-sweet chocolate
chips, eggs, and vanilla.
